We have been learning a lot about the weather. After reading one book, It Looked Like Spilt Milk, our class combined math (symmetry) with science (weather and clouds) and created our own clouds...check out some of the ones that really look like what we labeled them! The second picture says: a fly's head sucking blood. The bottom picture says: puppy's face. They turned out really great! Here is what the book looks like: http://www.amazon.com/Looked-Like-Spilt-Milk/dp/0064431592#reader_0064431592

Here is our penguin bulletin board display! Students worked at home with their family members to make these AWESOME versions of Tacky the Penguin! We had all kinds of Tackys...a sheriff, a hula dancer, a girl with high heels, a Santa, and many other adorable ones. I hope you families had as much fun making your Tacky the Penguin as we had sharing them and displaying them :) Don't forget our new Family Project: A Leprechaun Trap! (We want some gold!) Check out this link for the original Tacky the Penguin book. There are many sequels to Tacky and his friends' adventures. http://www.amazon.com/Tacky-Penguin-Helen-Lester/dp/0395562333
